Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into large, even-sized chunks.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce to a simmer.
- Cook the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes or until they are fork-tender.
- While the potatoes are cooking, trim and chop the broccolini.
- Add the chopped broccolini to the pot with the potatoes during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking, just until tender but still vibrant green.
- Drain the potatoes and broccolini well, then return them to the pot.
- Add the milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dash of salt.
- Use a potato masher or fork to mash the potatoes and broccolini together until you reach your desired consistency.
- Mix until the cheese is melted and evenly distributed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
- Serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, use a potato ricer or food mill to mash the potatoes.
- Steam the broccoli instead of boiling it to retain its nutrients and bright green color.
- Feel free to use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella or Gouda, to suit your taste preferences.
- If you prefer a richer mash, you can use whole milk or even add a bit of butter.
- Season the mash with additional spices like garlic powder or black pepper to enhance the flavor.
